Reviews of Still Counting the Dead: Financial Times, Victory at all Costs [2].”Ultimately, it is hard to read this book and not agree with the need for a fuller reckoning”. The Observer, Survivors of the bloody last months of Sri Lanka’s civil war tell a story of injustice and horror that we cannot continue to ignore. [3] “Anybody who has worked on Sri Lanka knows this story has had too little impact. With luck, this book can help change that”. Feature in the National Post: “It’s essential that the rest of the world open its eyes to the country’s bloody deeds.” [4] Review in Monsoon Journal: “An extraordinary book brilliantly crafted on stories from the survivors of the horrible war in Sri Lanka.” [5] The Hindu: Untold Stories, Unseen War [6] ‘.. it seems ironic that journalists often put between the covers of a book information that by definition ought to have made it to news columns or channels’. The Financial Express, An Account of Victory from the Perspective of the Defeated [7]. The Hindu Chennai, Killings at End Stage of Lanka Civil War Unprecedented [8].
